UPDATE 17APR: Tapering time so time to get energy back in legs ahead of Sunday 😱  

Start Time: Red Start - 1043hrs (wave 7). Number: 19325

(track with ‘London Marathon App’)  

MY STORY: As a long term sufferer of asthma with a childhood dream to complete the London Marathon - this just feels right!

Our lives have all been touched in recent years by those affected by Covid and the added complications for those with underlying breathing difficulties, so being selected to represent #TeamBreathe in 2023 is an absolute honour.

1 in 5 of us will develop a lung condition during our lifetime. I'm fundraising for Asthma + Lung UK - the only UK charity that fights for everyone’s right to breathe. Every pound I'm able to raise will take us a step closer to a world where everyone has healthy lungs.

All donations are so greatly appreciated and will help me through the pain in April. 

I’m now ‘tapering’  (reducing activity to put life back into legs) at the end of my 16 week training plan. Over 400 miles of training so nearly time to nail this 👊🏻. The beer will taste great after too ☺️!

Roll on 23rd April 2023 - London yeah!

Thank you - Andy
